DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present inventions will now be discussed in detail with regard tothe attached drawing figures that were briefly described above. In thefollowing description, numerous specific details are set forthillustrating the Applicant's best mode for practicing the invention andenabling one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention.It will be obvious, however, to one skilled in the art that the presentinvention may be practiced without many of these specific details. Inother instances, well-known machines, structures, and method steps havenot been described in particular detail in order to avoid unnecessarilyobscuring the present invention. Unless otherwise indicated, like partsand method steps are referred to with like reference numerals.

A network is a collection of links and nodes (e.g., multiple computersand/or other devices connected together) arranged so that informationmay be passed from one part of the network to another over multiplelinks and through various nodes. Examples of networks include theInternet, the public switched telephone network, the global Telexnetwork, computer networks (e.g., an intranet, an extranet, a local-areanetwork, or a wide-area network), wired networks, and wireless networks.

The Internet comprises a vast number of computers and computer networksthat are interconnected through communication links. The interconnectedcomputers exchange information using various services. In particular, aserver computer system, referred to herein as a web server, may connectthrough the Internet to a remote client computer system and may send, tothe remote client computer system upon request, one or more websitescontaining one or more graphical and textual web pages of information. Arequest is made to the web server by visiting the website's address,known as a Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”). Upon receipt, therequesting device can display the web pages. The request and display ofthe websites are typically conducted using a browser. A browser is aspecial-purpose application program that effects the requesting of webpages and the displaying of web pages.

Browsers are able to locate specific websites because each website,resource, and computer on the Internet has a unique Internet Protocol(IP) address. Presently, there are two standards for IP addresses. Theolder IP address standard, often called IP Version 4 (IPv4), is a 32-bitbinary number, which is typically shown in dotted decimal notation,where four 8-bit bytes are separated by a dot from each other (e.g.,64.202.167.32). The notation is used to improve human readability. Thenewer IP address standard, often called IP Version 6 (IPv6) or NextGeneration Internet Protocol (IPng), is a 128-bit binary number. Thestandard human readable notation for IPv6 addresses presents the addressas eight 16-bit hexadecimal words, each separated by a colon (e.g.,2EDC:BA98:0332:0000:CF8A:000C:2154:7313).

IP addresses, however, even in human readable notation, are difficultfor people to remember and use. A URL is much easier to remember and maybe used to point to any computer, directory, or file on the Internet. Abrowser is able to access a website on the Internet through the use of aURL. The URL may include a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requestcombined with the website's Internet address, also known as thewebsite's domain name. An example of a URL with a HTTP request anddomain name is: http://www.companyname.com. In this example, the “http”identifies the URL as a HTTP request and the “companyname.com” is thedomain name.

Domain names are much easier to remember and use than theircorresponding IP addresses. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Namesand Numbers (ICANN) approves some Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLD) anddelegates the responsibility to a particular organization (a “registry”)for maintaining an authoritative source for the registered domain nameswithin a TLD and their corresponding IP addresses.

The process for registering a domain name with .com, .net, .org, andsome other TLDs allows an Internet user to use an ICANN-accreditedregistrar to register their domain name. For example, if an Internetuser, John Doe, wishes to register the domain name “mycompany.com,” JohnDoe may initially determine whether the desired domain name is availableby contacting a domain name registrar. The Internet user may make thiscontact using the registrar's webpage and typing the desired domain nameinto a field on the registrar's webpage created for this purpose. Uponreceiving the request from the Internet user, the registrar mayascertain whether “mycompany.com” has already been registered bychecking the SRS database associated with the TLD of the domain name.The results of the search then may be displayed on the webpage tothereby notify the Internet user of the availability of the domain name.If the domain name is available, the Internet user may proceed with theregistration process. Otherwise, the Internet user may keep selectingalternative domain names until an available domain name is found. Domainnames are typically registered for a period of one to ten years withfirst rights to continually re-register the domain name.

The information on web pages is in the form of programmed source codethat the browser interprets to determine what to display on therequesting device. The source code may include document formats,objects, parameters, positioning instructions, and other code that isdefined in one or more web programming or markup languages. One webprogramming language is HyperText Markup Language (“HTML”), and all webpages use it to some extent. HTML uses text indicators called tags toprovide interpretation instructions to the browser. The tags specify thecomposition of design elements such as text, images, shapes, hyperlinksto other web pages, programming objects such as JAVA applets, formfields, tables, and other elements. The web page can be formatted forproper display on computer systems with widely varying displayparameters, due to differences in screen size, resolution, processingpower, and maximum download speeds.

For Internet users and businesses alike, the Internet continues to beincreasingly valuable. More people use the Web for everyday tasks, fromsocial networking, shopping, banking, and paying bills to consumingmedia and entertainment. E-commerce is growing, with businessesdelivering more services and content across the Internet, communicatingand collaborating online, and inventing new ways to connect with eachother. However, presently-existing systems and methods for designing andlaunching a website require a user wishing to establish an onlinepresence to navigate through a complicated series of steps to do so.First, the owner must register a domain name. The owner must then designa website, or hire a website design company to design the website. Then,the owner must purchase, configure, and implement website-relatedservices, including storage space and record configuration on a webserver, software applications to add functionality to his website,maintenance and customer service plans, and the like. This process canbe complicated, time-consuming, and fraught with opportunity for usererror. It may also be very expensive to produce, serve, and maintain theuser's website. Merchants may be hesitant to create an online presencebecause of the perceived effort involved to do so. These merchants limittheir business to offline “brick and mortar” points of sale.

Some existing website design approaches can simplify the design processthrough automation of certain of the design process steps. Typically, auser is provided a template comprising a fully or substantiallyhard-coded framework. The user must then customize the framework byproviding content, such as images, descriptive text, web page titles andinternal organizational links between web pages, and element layoutchoices. While the resulting website may be customized to the user'spreferences and may present the desired information, the design processremains complicated and time-consuming because the user must identify,locate, prepare, and upload all of the desired content and then organizeit within the web pages of the website.

Thus, current methods of website design may require extensive effort andprovide limited options for the website designer. Website developmentsoftware companies and/or web hosts may present a website operator withwebsite design software, possibly comprising an interface allowing usersto choose many categories to narrow down the industry associated withtheir website, then may direct the user to options that suggesttemplates. These templates may or may not fall into a category for theidentified industry. To complete the website design, website designersmust look through website themes, make a selection, and customize theselected website theme to match the desired website design.

In addition, once a website layout and/or style are selected, even iftext is provided for the content of the website, the text tends to bepre-written content that is not customized for each user that selectedthe website template. The user is therefore left to face thetime-consuming task of drafting and/or customizing the text for thewebsite.

Therefore, optimal means for designing a website, including thedisclosed invention, may comprise systems and methods including websitedesigns that can be generated and customized based on a user profile andwebsite characteristics (e.g., color, layout, text, images, widgets,etc.) relevant to the user's identified industry, geography, targetcustomer demographic in the area, competitive dynamics in the industryand business goals (e.g., getting people to call, getting people to comeinto the customer's store, etc.). Such optimal means may coordinatecolors, styles/effects, stock photography, localized language andlayouts according to the user and the user's identified industry. Thecurrent invention therefore generates the content and theme for thewebsite and tailors the website specifically to the user's identifiedindustry and user profile, thereby reducing the need to look throughwebsite themes and customize them.

In addition, the disclosed invention may provide a bank of pre-writtentext customized to various industries and user profiles. The disclosedcontent engine may concatenate pre-written text together based on userpreferences (including an identified industry) associated with a userprofile for the operator of the website. The disclosed invention mayalso apply semantic analysis on text strings within the bank ofpre-written text in order to concatenate the most relevant pieces oftext together into industry-related text content for the website.

FIG. 2 shows a more detailed example embodiment of an environment forthe systems, and for accomplishing the method steps, disclosed herein.As non-limiting examples, all disclosed software modules may run on oneor more server(s) 110 and/or one or more clients 120 and may include oneor more user interfaces generated by the server(s) 110 and transmittedto and displayed on the client(s) 120. The user interface(s) may beconfigured to receive input from the user and transmit this input to theserver(s) 110 for the administration and execution of the software,using data in data storage 130 associated with the software modules.Thus, the disclosed system may be configured to execute any or all ofthe method steps disclosed herein.

In FIG. 3, an administrative entity, such as a domain name registrarand/or website hosting service, may operate a database 130, possiblyhosted on server(s) 110. This database may comprise a repository ofwebsite features data 200 and a repository of user profile data 205.(Step 300)

The website features repository 200 may comprise a collection ofindividual data records (or other data groupings), each defining afeature within a website and aggregated via data entry or extraction(Step 310). Each data record may define the website feature using: dataidentifying an industry (associated with the website feature and, insome embodiments, acting as the primary key throughout the repository);data classifying a class of website feature (e.g., content, layout,style, widget); one or more metadata elements or tags defining ordescribing the website feature; and a feature affinity data correlatingeach website feature with one or more other website features in thewebsite features repository 200. Each data record may define this dataat multiple levels of granularity.

To populate and index the website features repository 200, server(s) 110may host and run one or more software modules. One or more data entrysoftware modules 210 may receive website feature data for a particularindustry from a crowd worker (possibly a single system administrator)via a displayed user interface, and may generate one or more websitefeature data records for that industry. One or more data extractionsoftware modules 215 may extract website feature data from one or morecrawled websites. This data extraction software 215 may perform aninternet crawl, and for each crawled website, the data extractionsoftware 215 may identify the industry associated with the website andextract the website feature data defining the website's content, layoutand style. The data extraction software 215 may then generate individualdata records from the extracted content, each data record defining,within a meta data and/or tag stored within one or more data fields,various characteristics of the content, layout or style of the crawledwebsite. These data records may then each be stored in the websitefeatures repository 200 in association with the identified industry.

The website content features defined in the website features repository200 may include any text or images input by the crowd worker(s) via theuser interface in association with a specific industry, or any text orimages extracted from the crawled websites associated with the specificindustry.

The website layout features defined in the website features repositorymay include the relative positions of the content on the web pages inputby crowd workers or extracted from the code of crawled websites (e.g.,HTML table cells, <div>, <span> or <p> positions, etc.). To contain thereceived content and/or the relative positions of this content, thecontent and/or layout related data records (or possibly separatewidget-related data records) may define industry-specific widgetsidentifying the type of widget content (e.g., text, image, etc.), thewhitespace around that content, and the widget's relative position toother widgets or other content within the website.

The website style features defined in the website features repository200 may include the trim, color or other theme-related attributes of thecontent, and/or any visual effects, animations or other dynamic themeattributes within the website, as input by crowd workers or extractedfrom the code of crawled websites.

The website features repository 200 may include an affinity tabledefining relationships between and correlating data records, possiblyvia common data between their metadata/tag data field and/or theirfeature affinity data fields. The website features repository 200 mayuse any combination of these data fields to index and map affinities andcorrelations between website feature data records for specific classesand/or for specific industries, thereby creating relationships and/orinterconnections between data records and other data records. Once alldata records are aggregated and their relationships and affinitydefined, the administrator and/or crowd worker(s) may then review theaggregation and confirm the website feature definitions, relationshipsand affinities in the data records and the affinities table. The websitefeatures repository may also include a grammar reference forconcatenating text string content together and run semantic analyses tovalidate logical content flow, including logical grammatical flow ofconcatenated relevant pieces of text. The affinity table and grammarreference may ensure that the automatically generated website isconsistent and cohesive.

With the website features repository 200 populated, and relationshipsensuring a consistent and cohesive website content established, awebsite generation software 220 may receive a request from a user,possibly via a user account control panel, to automatically generate awebsite specific to the industry associated with the user's business,and possibly personalized to the user's profile (Step 320). In someembodiments the user control panel may receive this request while a useris, for example, creating their user profile or registering a domainname. The industry associated with the user's business may be determinedfrom a user's specific identification of the industry associated withthe website, and/or may be extrapolated from user profile data (e.g.,user's business name, contact info, preferences, etc.) stored within therepository of user profile data 205.

The website generation software may then query the website featuresrepository 200 for all data records associated with the user'sidentified industry (Step 330). The website generation software mayidentify, within each of these data records, the category associatedwith the data records (e.g., a content, layout or style websitefeature), analyze the metadata/tags defining the content, layout orstyle feature, and determine the most frequently occurring websitefeatures, based on these tags. Using the affinity table and/or theappropriate affinity data in the data record, correlated websitefeatures may be correlated and combined. For example, the affinity tablemay define a “clean” theme, combining widgets with generous whitespace.Similarly, the affinity table and the grammar reference may be used toconcatenate together text strings in a logical and readable order to bedisplayed as website content. Using the most frequently occurring andcorrelated website features, the website generation software maygenerate a website template for the user's identified industry (Step340).

The website generation software may further personalize the websitetemplate to the user according to a user's profile within the repositoryof website user profile data 205. For example, using a user's preferencefor a simple (e.g., 1 over 3 display) or more complex (e.g., long scrollor complex multi-page display) content and layout, the websitegeneration software may customize the generated website templateaccordingly. Similarly, the website generation software may analyze thecontent of similar websites or websites of the user's identifiedcompetitors (either by explicit identification by the user or usingidentification techniques described below), and automatically customizethe generated website template to match website features on the similaror competitors' websites. The website generation software may furtherpersonalize the website template by applying any additional user profileelements from the user profile repository (e.g., similarities to thecontent, layout and style of other websites operated by the user). Thecontent may be translated into additional languages, and the softwaremay learn and refine its results.

Returning to step 300 of FIG. 3, an administrative entity, such as adomain name registrar and/or website hosting service, may operate adatabase 130, possibly hosted on server(s) 110. This database maycomprise a repository of website features data 200 and a repository ofuser profile data 205.

The website features repository 200 may comprise a collection ofindividual data records (or other data groupings), each defining afeature within a website. The data records may be further broken downinto specific data, such as a data field in a data record, for example.As non-limiting examples, Each data record may include: the websitefeature; data identifying an industry (associated with the websitefeature and, in some embodiments, acting as the primary key throughoutthe repository); a class of website feature (e.g., content, layout,style, widget); one or more metadata elements or tags defining ordescribing the website feature; and a feature affinity data correlatingeach website feature with one or more other website features in thewebsite features repository 200.

Each data record may define this data at multiple levels of granularity.For example, multiple industry data fields may identify the industry asa service industry, while additional data fields identify the industryas medical, pediatrics, podiatry for children, etc. Multiple layout datafields may define a layout as a clean or simple layout (e.g., generouswhitespace), a single page layout, a 3 over 1 layout, etc. Multiplestyle data fields may define the style as pastel, green, forest green,etc., and so forth. Each of the website feature data elements withineach of these repositories may be populated, indexed according toassociated and tagged metadata elements, and associated with anidentified industry using any combination of human effort or automatedtechnology.

To populate and index the website features repository 200, server(s) 110may host and run one or more software modules. One or more data entrysoftware modules 210 may receive website feature data for a particularindustry from a crowd worker (possibly a single system administrator)via a displayed user interface, and may generate one or more websitefeature data records for that industry. The industry may be defined atany level of granularity, as noted above. For example, at the highestlevel, an industry may fall into one of five categories, for examplepersonal, service-based local business, service-based online business,product-based local business or product-based online business. Each ofthese high-level categories may be further broken down according toindustry, so the personal category may include subcategories for weddingbusinesses, resume building businesses, family photo services, etc.; theservice-based local business category may include subcategories fordoctors, plumbers, electricians, etc.; the service-based online businesscategory may include sub categories for graphics editors, logodesigners, etc.; the product-based local business category may includesubcategories for local boutiques, for example; and the product-basedonline business may include subcategories for online shoe stores.

In some embodiments, crowd workers with the correct skill sets (e.g.,selected based on their known subjects, expertise, previous experience,etc.) may contribute content including proper vocabulary level text,string length, images, etc., which may be relevant for a website in aspecific industry. In light of these qualifications, the crowd workersmay enter the data into the user interface of the data entry software210 by being prompted to write sentences about specific topics thatwould be pre-sourced (e.g., “Tell us what a doctor does,” “Tell us aboutdoctor services and specialties,” “Tell us about doctor pricing modelsand insurance issues,” etc.)

In addition, these crowd workers may use their expertise and/or researchof websites in the industry to analyze and aggregate the content(including text, string vocabulary, string lengths and images), layout,and style of these industry websites via the user interface inassociation with the identified industry. The first software may thengenerate data records within the website features repository 200 basedon the received data, each data record focused on the identifiedindustry and defining the content, layout and style of the websitefeatures. The crowd worker(s) may index each of the website feature dataelements according to associated and tagged metadata elements in otherdata records.

One or more data extraction software modules 215 may extract websitefeature data from one or more crawled websites. This data extractionsoftware 215 may perform an internet crawl, and for each crawledwebsite, the data extraction software may identify the industryassociated with the website and extract the website feature datadefining the website's content, layout and style.

Any method known in the industry may be used to identify the industryassociated with the crawled website. For example, the data extractionsoftware 215 may parse local or other news sources and/or postings inindustry review sites (e.g., Yelp, TripAdvisor, Yext,) to identifywebsites within a certain industry. Proximate mentions of related orcompeting business websites may also be included. When the websites fora particular industry have been identified, the data extraction software215 may identify keywords within the websites, and parse out commonkeywords. The data extraction software may also analyze website metadatatags and page descriptions via an SEO parser or run an analysis of EXIFmeta tags within images pulled from the crawled websites. Crowd workersmay also review the crawled websites and flag keywords within thewebsite appropriately.

The keywords parsed from the crawled websites may include, asnon-limiting examples, the most common keywords on the crawled websites,positive or negative sentiment of the websites' language, content in an“about us” section of the crawled websites, and comparisons of theservices text (e.g., in a services page) with known industry keywords. Asemantic analysis of these keywords may include, as non-limitingexamples, a semantic analysis between the crawled websites and similaror competing industry websites.

The data extraction software 215 may then generate individual datarecords from the extracted content, each data record defining, within ameta data and/or tag stored within one or more data fields, variouscharacteristics of the content, layout or style of the crawled website.These data records may then each be stored in the website featuresrepository 200 in association with the identified industry.

The non-limiting example website seen in FIG. 5 may be used to bothdemonstrate the data entry 210 and data extraction 215 software modules,as well as an example of an automatically generated website, asdescribed below. In the context of data entry or extraction, a crowdworker may review the Acme medical group websites and identify thewebsite as associated with the medical industry. The crowd worker mayalso identify the website as having a 1 over 3 layout with text stringsspecific to the medical industry as a service and identify, within thecontent, 3 dimensional graphics and a slideshow. The crowd worker maythen enter the appropriate data records via the data entry software 210.

Similarly, data extraction software 215 may crawl this website during anInternet crawl and identify keywords within the website identifying thewebsite as associated with the medical industry (e.g., “medical,”“health,” “specialty,” “practice”). The data extraction software maythen analyze the code for the website as described above, and determinethat the website has a 1 over 3 layout with text strings specific to themedical industry as a service and identify, within the content, 3dimensional graphics and a slideshow. The data extraction software maythen generate the appropriate data records.

Each data record for each of the website features associated with aparticular industry may identify a category (e.g., content, layout,style) for that data record. These data records for a particularindustry may therefore be grouped into sub-repositories of: 1) content(possibly further subdivided into text and images); 2) layout; and 3)style. In some embodiments, a category for widgets (described below) mayinclude data records making up a widget sub-repository. For eachcategory defined in a data field of a data record, additional datafields may define the feature of the content, layout or style viametadata and/or tags in the data fields.

The website content features defined in the website features repository200 may include any text or images input by the crowd worker(s) via theuser interface in association with a specific industry, and/or any textor images extracted from the crawled websites associated with thespecific industry.

Any text content within the content repository may be subdivided intotext strings, and any of these text strings may be concatenated togetherto generate content for the automatically generated website. The contentrepository may also comprise images. These images may have been enteredby crowd workers, extracted from crawled websites and/or downloaded froma large community commons (i.e., free) library such as Flickr (which mayalready be associated with a specific industry) or from known socialmedia outlets with one or more sets of attributes or parameters thatdescribe the image (e.g., images tagged via Yelp to an industry).

The website layout features defined in the website features repository200 may include the relative positions of the content on the web pagesinput by crowd workers or extracted from the code of crawled websites(e.g., HTML table cells, <div>, <span> or <p> positions, etc.). In otherwords, the layout of the web page may define the relative positions oflogical blocks of information displayed on a web page and the positionof the content within these logical blocks of information. A crowdworker may analyze a web page to determine the layout. The crowd workermay then create data records defining the layout of the web page inassociation with a specific industry. In embodiments where the layout isextracted from crawled industry websites, the data extraction software215 may define the layout by extracting, analyzing and parsing HTML, CSSor JavaScript code within the crawled websites (e.g., HTML table cellsand/or <div>, <span> or <p> tag relative positions), and generating datarecords defining the layout features via metadata and/or tags definingattributes or parameters of the layout feature.

To contain the received content and/or the relative positions of thiscontent, the content and/or layout related data records (or possiblyseparate widget-related data records) may define industry-specificwidgets identifying the type of widget content (e.g., text, image,etc.), the whitespace around that content, and the widget's relativeposition to other widgets or other content within the website. In otherwords, the metadata and/or tags for the layout data records may furtherdefine the position of the logical blocks of information within thelayout of the web page (e.g., position of row or data field in an HTMLtable, relative position of <div>, <span> or <p> elements, etc.), thecontent stored within the logical blocks, and the amount of whitespaceused in and between each of those blocks. Whitespace may be defined asthe space between elements on a page where elements don't overlap andthere is space between them, comprising “padding” or “margins.”Additional metadata/tags in these data records may define the relativeposition of the blocks of data within the website, the contentdescription (e.g., text, image, etc.) and/or the whitespace around thatcontent within the information block. This data may be defined withinlayout or widget data records.

In some crowd-based embodiments, crowd workers may create industry basedwidgets as part of the theme, layout and/or style associated with anindustry to hold content for an automatically generated website in thatindustry. The crowd workers may analyze websites and generate, withinthe layout repository, data records with meta data or tags defining thedimensions of a widget used on the website. In embodiments wherewebsites are crawled, the crawler software may analyze the layout of theweb page, including whitespace, determine a radius from the edge of anyboundaries, and generate metadata or tags defining widgets, content andwhitespace arranged according to the layout of the web pages. Thegenerated widget metadata/tag may be analyzed to see if the determinedradius crosses another widget for the analyzed web page, and if so, thedata record may be updated to reflect that more whitespace needs to beadded.

The website style features defined in the website features repository200 may include the trim, color or other theme-related attributes of thecontent, and/or any visual effects, animations or other dynamic themeattributes within the website, as input by crowd workers or extractedfrom the code of crawled websites. In embodiments where style repositorydata records are entered by a crowd worker, general metadata and/or tags(e.g., “pastel,” “green” or “clean”) may be used to define the website.This metadata may be further refined to clarify that certain tagproperties within HTML should be pastel or green, or that a clean styleinvolves generous amounts of whitespace within widgets. In crawledwebsite embodiments, the data extraction software 215 may analyze theHTML or JavaScript code, CSS properties, images, text, styles ormetadata within the crawled websites and parse these properties todetermine, for example, background colors, font style, colors or sizes,whether or not the site has rounded corners, how different items animate(e.g., sliders), etc.

The website features repository 200 may include an affinity databasetable correlating and defining relationships between data records,possibly via common data between their metadata/tag data field and/ortheir feature affinity data fields. The website features repository 200may use any combination of these data fields to index and map affinitiesand correlations between website feature data records for specificclasses and/or for specific industries, thereby creating relationshipsand/or interconnections between data records and other data records inthe website features repository 200.

The software and data for automatically generating the website may beroughly analogous to a genome project. By analogy, interconnectionswithin this software and data may be enabled, since the metadata and/orother tagging data in each data record may be indexed and mapped toother metadata and/or tags according to other associated and taggedmetadata elements in other data records. The affinity database table maybe accessible to the website feature repository 200, and may reflect therelationship between each of these elements and their associatedindustry in order to produce the automatically generated website featurewithin a consistent specific theme. The affinity table may map out theaffinity between website feature elements, identify the propensity ofusing specific website feature elements based on certain properties, andfurther associate these specific website feature elements with thesoftware engines described herein to ensure that items within theautomatically generated website blend together. The affinity mappingthese elements together may be determined and traced by crowd sourcing.to ensure they flow correctly and read properly for humans.

Using the medical services website in FIG. 5, the disclosed system mayrequest a layout or website widgets designated as “clean,” which wouldautomatically generate a website and a theme associated with certainfonts and levels of whitespace within the website. To generate thistheme within the automatically generated website, the system mayrecognize, within the repository, tags identifying whitespace and applythese tags to the website theme.

In addition to the affinities table, the website features repository 200may also include a grammar reference for concatenating text stringcontent together and run semantic analyses to validate logical contentflow, including logical grammatical flow of concatenated relevant piecesof text. The affinity table and grammar reference may ensure that thecontent within the automatically generated website has cohesive andlogical flow presented within a consistent theme.

Once all data records are aggregated and their relationships andaffinity defined, the administrator and/or crowd worker(s) may thenreview the aggregation of data and confirm the website featuredefinitions, relationships and affinities in the data records and theaffinities table.

In addition to storing a website features repository 200, server(s) 110may be configured to store a user profile repository 205. This userprofile repository 205 may be used to further customize theautomatically generated website to the user's profile.

Server(s) 110 may be hosted by any entity, possibly a hosting provider,a domain name registrar, a website development company, any othersoftware service provider or any combination thereof. To manage users ofsuch a system, including individuals or organizations, server(s) 110 mayhost and run a user administration program such as GODADDY's MY ACCOUNTcontrol panel for management of hosting and domain names, as anon-limiting example.

In such an administration control panel program, each user may beassigned a user id. This user id may identify transactions performed byeach user. These transactions may be stored as data records in datastorage 130, each data record including the user id to associate theuser with the transaction in data storage 130. These transactions maycomprise online activities to be logged and stored in association withthe user id, to be analyzed by server(s) 110 in order to identify anindustry associated with a user's business, customize the websiteaccording to these transactions, or accomplish any other steps disclosedherein.

As non-limiting examples of such activities, a user may desire toregister a domain name and host a website. The user may search for adomain name, and/or view an online ad comprising metadata and/orkeywords describing the ad and product. The user may click on this ad toaccess a website for registering a domain name or host a website. Thekeywords searched, any top-level domain names searched, the ad clickedon, the metadata and/or keywords associated with the ad, the destinationwebsite reached, and the navigation to reach it may all be logged andstored in association with the user id in the user profile repository.

The user may then access a control panel similar to that seen in FIG. 4in order to register the domain name or host a website. The user may betaken through an on-boarding process to register the domain name or hostthe website, where the user is asked a series of questions to determinethe details of registering the domain name and/or hosting the website.For example, in FIG. 4, the user may be asked the name of a businessassociated with the domain name/website and an industry category thatdescribes the business. The user may also identify any related orcompeting websites in the same industry. The user may also contact acustomer support website or phone number, and ask several questionsabout the domain name and/or website hosting process. The user may thenregister the domain name or host the website. The user's answers to anyquestions in the on-boarding process, any questions to or answers fromthe customer support interaction, and the domain name ultimatelyselected or details about the website hosted, any additional websiteshosted or products purchased, or any other user preferences, may all belogged and stored in association with the user id in the user profilerepository.

The user may also provide several points of contact, which may be storedin the user profile repository 205 in association with the user id. Suchcontact data may include a phone or SMS number, an email address, abilling address, social media account data, etc. In some embodiments,this user contact data may be used to receive notices related to thedisclosed invention.

In order to automatically generate a website, the disclosed system mustdetermine an industry associated with the website. Data in the userprofile repository 205 may be used to identify the industry associatedwith the website. The user's selection of an industry category inassociation with the website is the strongest indicator of the relatedindustry. However, the related industry may also be extrapolated fromany additional data stored in the user profile repository, as describedabove. For example, the user's contact information may be crossreferenced against online databases (e.g., using an API for a reversephone number search) or the domain name within the user's email addressmay identify the company for which the user works, and the disclosedsystem may identify the associated industry using any techniquesdescribed above.

With the website features repository 200 populated, and relationshipsensuring a consistent and cohesive website content established, awebsite generation software 220 may receive a request from a user,possibly via a user account control panel, to automatically generate awebsite specific to the industry associated with the user's business,and possibly personalized to the user's profile. In some embodiments theuser control panel may receive this request while a user is, forexample, creating their user profile or registering a domain name. Asseen in FIG. 4, the request to automatically generate the website mayalso include a specification by the user of whether the requestedwebsite's layout should be simple or complex.

In response to the automatic website generation request, the websitegeneration software may then query the website features repository 200for all data records associated with the user's identified industry. Theindustry associated with the user's business may be determined from auser's specific identification of the industry associated with theuser's website, and/or may be extrapolated from user profile data (e.g.,user's business name, contact info, preferences, etc.) stored within therepository of user profile data 205.

The website generation software 220 may identify, within each of thesedata records, the category associated with the data records (e.g., acontent, layout or style website feature), analyze the metadata/tagsdefining the content, layout or style feature, and determine the mostfrequently occurring website features, based on these tags. Thisinformation may be aggregated to determine what the average for anindustry is. For example the software may determine that, when lookingat 1000 medical industry sites 78% of them use a white background withsplashes of bright blue. Using the most frequently occurring websitefeatures, the website generation software may generate a websitetemplate, including the content, layout and style of the website for theuser's identified industry.

The website generation software 220 may include a content softwareengine, which may query the database to retrieve all data recordsassociated with the user's identified industry and the content category,ordered by most frequent to least frequently occurring content. Withinthe retrieved data records, the most frequently occurring text andimages may be identified and applied to the automatically generatedwebsite as the website content.

The data records defining text for the website content may furthercomprise a bank of text strings each comprising uniquely created orimported strings and/or combinations of strings parsed together fromvarious sources. These various sources for the text strings may includetext strings pre-written by crowd workers, or may include extractedcontent imported during an Internet crawl. These combinations of stringsfrom individual data records may be concatenated together to generateunique content relevant to the automatically generated website.

The content software engine may then run a semantic analysis on thegenerated string content including analysis of: the length of strings;the industry, region, language, and sophistication (e.g., professionalservices vs. casual) of potential website users as variables forcontext; cues from existing websites used to train the content softwareengine; and crowd sourcing used to validate the algorithm and ensurethat strings match. The content software engine may also determinewhether two strings should be concatenated together using the datarecords in the affinity table. If the affinity table shows a highaffinity or correlation between two concatenated strings, those stringsmay make up at least a portion of the text content for the generatedwebsite.

In addition to the affinity and correlation between text stringsdetermined by the affinity table, the database 130 may further comprisea separate database or database table comprising a separate set of“grammar rules,” which the content software engine may use to apply aglobal set of language semantic relationships that would dictate rules(different for each language) between sentences formed by concatenatingthe text strings. The set of grammar rules may be stored with all of therelationships tagged so that the software knows how to run the semanticanalysis against the concatenated strings.

Thus, as seen in FIG. 6, one or more server computers may be configuredto: store a plurality of website text data records in a database inassociation with the industry (Step 600); aggregate the plurality ofwebsite text data records, each comprising at least one data fielddefining a text string within a website content, from a plurality ofdata entries of a plurality of parsed website content data associatedwith an industry (Step 310); receive a signal encoding a request toautomatically generate a website and the industry to be associated withthe website (Step 320); query the database for the plurality of websitetext data records comprising a most frequently occurring collection ofcommon text strings within the content of the website (Step 610); andgenerate a website template according to the most frequently occurringcollection of common text string and comprising a first text stringconcatenated to a second text string according to a determination of arelevance between the first text string and the second text string (Step620).

The website generation software 220 may include a widget engine, whichmay query the database to retrieve all data records associated with theuser's identified industry and the widget category, ordered by mostfrequent to least frequently occurring widget characteristics. Thewidget engine may work in conjunction with the content engine to analyzethe features for the most frequently occurring widgets for theidentified industry (e.g., text, image, size, position), as defined inthe metadata/tags within the website feature repository 200, and mayapply these widget features to the automatically generated websitetemplate. The content engine may then inject the text and/or imagecontent into the appropriate widgets, based on widgets labeled todetermine what type of content to insert into the widgets (e.g., image,content, widget size). Images may be inserted according to their sizeand location (e.g., looking for similar ratios to fill a 9×16 slot, orcropping or scaling if no such image is found)

The widget features may include a liquid layout internal to each definedwidget and expandable as needed. For example, the content may fill 100%width of the space within the widget, but if there isn't enough text tofill it, the text and images (e.g., a map and headline) may remain acertain size. However, if the widget is expanded or contracted, then thetext and/or images may grow or shrink proportionately in length to fillthe space. Similarly, the widget engine may determine the size of aclient on which the widget will be displayed (e.g., a mobile phone ortablet screen) in order to resize via client-side code of the widgetengine, which may read the space it needs to render in (if it's codedwith responsive web design principles), and resizing accordingly.

The website generation software 215 may include a layout engine, whichmay query the database to retrieve all data records associated with theuser's identified industry and the layout category, ordered by mostfrequent to least frequently occurring widget characteristics. Thewidget engine may work in conjunction with the layout engine to analyzethe features for the most frequently occurring widgets for theidentified industry (e.g., text, image, size, position), as defined inthe metadata/tags within the website feature repository 200, and mayapply these widget features to the automatically generated websitetemplate. Specifically, the layout engine may analyze the layout of theweb page, including whitespace, determine a radius from the edge of anyboundaries, and generate widgets, including content and whitespacewithin and between the widgets arranged according to the layout of theweb pages. The generated widget metadata/tag may be analyzed to see ifthe determined radius crosses another widget for the analyzed web page,and if so, the data record may be updated to reflect that morewhitespace needs to be added.

The website generation software 220 may include a style engine, whichmay query the database to retrieve all data records associated with theuser's identified industry and the style category, ordered by mostfrequent to least frequently occurring widget characteristics. As thestyle is established, images within the content of the website may beidentified to be customized to the current website by: scaling orcropping the image to fit a designated space; color grading the image tobetter align to the overall site palette (for example making it usecooler tones).

Using the affinity table and/or the appropriate affinity data in thedata record, correlated website features may be correlated and combined.For example, the affinity table may define a “clean” theme, combiningwidgets with generous whitespace. Similarly, the affinity table and thegrammar reference may be used to concatenate together text strings in alogical and readable order to be displayed as website content. Using themost frequently occurring and correlated website features, the websitegeneration software may generate a website template for the user'sidentified industry.

The website generation software 220 may then this user profile data mayalso be used to automatically generate and customize websitecharacteristics (e.g., color, layout, text, images, widgets, etc.).These customized website characteristics may also be derived from theuser's geography, target customer demographic in the area, competitivedynamics in the industry and business goals (e.g., getting customers tocall, or getting customers to come into the store).

The website generation software may further personalize the websitetemplate to the user according to a user's profile within the repositoryof website user data 205. For example, using a user's preference for asimple (e.g., 1 over 3 display) or more complex (e.g., long scroll orcomplex multi-page display) content and layout, the website generationsoftware may customize the generated website template accordingly.Similarly, the website generation software may analyze the content ofsimilar websites or websites of the user's identified competitors(either by explicit identification by the user or using identificationtechniques described below), and automatically customize the generatedwebsite template to match website features on the similar orcompetitors' websites. The website generation software may furtherpersonalize the website template by applying any additional user profileelements from the user profile repository (e.g., similarities to thecontent, layout and style of other websites operated by the user)

The content may be translated into additional languages. The websitegeneration software 220 may include a language engine that translatesthe completed website content. The translation may be entered via crowdworkers, and the translated text may be sent from the website featuresrepository to the translation engine in strings that would be translated(in context) and sent back to the website features repository 200 as alanguage pack. The amount of text translated/requested may be based onother competitor sites in the same industry.
